If you need to withdraw a single poem from a group, please add a note via the Submittable system, rather than send an email, as these can get lost in the shuffle.

- We appreciate a cover letter that includes a brief bio.
We are offering a new Tip Jar/Expedited reading service to our contributors. For a nominal fee ($2.50), we will guarantee a careful, expedited reading of your work. The works of authors who opt to use the expedited submissions link will be attended to first. All funds from submissions will go toward meeting the rising costs of operating and maintaining the journal. Thank you in advance for your support.
